THE STATE OF THE STREETS

The present state of the streets of this city
is bad enough, but whoever looks about must
see that the future has in it not only the
threat but the certainty of far worse conditions,
il the existing muddle is maintained. The
case as it stands is remarkable. to say the least
The people of New-York are taxed heavily
10 keep the streets in order An expensive
departmental machinery has Deen instituted to
look after them. This machine has with in
finite labor been brought to a certain degree
Of efficiency. But just as it is being demon
strated that city street work can be well done
and that it is possible for us to have decent
paving here and there, corporation steps
into the field and proceeds 10 mako showing
| which should II it does not carry both con-
stcrnation and anger into the mind of every
| intelligent citizen. For what this corporation
has shown is that the public interests may at
any time be swamped at the demand of what
is literally a public nuisance; that all the
money contributed by the people and spent in
paving the streets may at any time be made
of no effect, be wasted utterly in short, at the
dictation Of selfish, greedy and reckless cor
porations that-and this is the most serious
consideration Of all-the courts can be used
by these (or any other) corporations to upset
public rights. to sanction the waste of public
money and to fortify the most aggravating OF
nuisances.
Nobody to-day could be credulous enough to
pretend that the people Of New-York own the
streets Of the city. The Mayor and corpora
ton, the departments, all the peoples agents,
are powcrless to prevent the virtual destruc-
ton Of values, the impudent usurpation OF
public rights. which take place daily. The
put authority In the hands Of the intruding
corporations and tie the hands of the city gov
eminent. They literally give over the streets
to private corporations. and to companies which
have abundantly shown that they feel no
responsibility. So 1t is that after the city has
spent thousands Of dollars in repaving street.
some corporation will tear up and destroy all
the work. and having blockaded the thorough
faro just as long as it likes, will put down the
pavement again so badly that all the work
Of the city requires 10 be done again. There
Is apparently no help, either. The city cannot
interfere. for the courts must grant man
damus when corporation applies for one,
and thus the taxpayers are robbed and the
public are abused and Inconvenience without
remedy. The fact that such state OF things
is possible provesthat there is something rotten
in the condition Of the law 1t is prima
facia q monstrous incquity for the courts to
grant niandamuscs with the facility they do,
but tho lawmakers are TO blame for it.
II is plainly improper that any private corpora
ton should thus be enabled TO trample upon
the nublic r; pbts and intcrcsts
Tho abuse has already reached dimensions
which render IL intolcrabc. and it is clear
enough that New-York can have no protection

This is the first day of registration In
brooklyn, and every voter who can take ad
vantage Of it should do so. Delays are dan
gcrous and registration is an imperative duty
OF every citizen. Important local issues are
to be passed upon at the polls in Brooklyn,
and no one can afford to throw away his
chance Of voting. The places Of registration
will be open from to 10 o'clock this morning
and from to 10 this afternoon and evening.
Do not neglect to register to-day; but if you
do, remember that the next opportunity will
be given On Tuesday, October Ii.
Two machines are hard at work in Sara
toga and the Federal office-holders, despite
the stern admonition once given against "per-
nicious activity" are as energetic as the State
officials who are exerting themselves in behalf
of Governor Hill. The convention, however,
promises to be quct-for Democratic gather
ing. Most Of the nominations are already
arranged, and the struggle over the State
Committee, which is the main thing at issue,
will not take place in public. So harmony"
is to be the order of the day. In this line
Tammany and the County Democracy have set
an example-compeIied it is true, by circum-
stances beyond their control-and the conven-
tion does not appear likely to hesitate about
taking tho cue.
Pensions and pension legislation form the
principal topic Of our ST. Louis dispatch, as
they do of the conversation and discussions
Of tho war veterans now gathered
and gathering in that city. There
appears to be an increasing senti-
ment in favor. of service pensions, either uni
form or graded, but the National Encampmcnt
our correspondent thinks. Is not likely to take
decided action in this direction. Still, an
unrestricted discussion Of the question will
probably be allowed. as 1t ought to be. There
Is q good deal to be said, doubtless on both
sides; and the wiser heads viii naturally con-
slider what they stand a chance Of getting
and so avoid the risk of obtaining nothing by
asking for too much.
Any other verdict than equity OF murder
In the first degree was impossible in the case
Of Lyons. unless tho jury had been peculiarly
capnceB. The clearcst proof of premcditatcd
murder was produced. Lyons is one OF that

The Reading Strike.

SHAMoKIN, Dec. 2S.-Reading railroad
knights of Labor here are still out, and
declare they will not return to work until
their discharged associates at this place
are reinstated. Three train crews of non
union men are at work, but there arc
thirty-five locomotives here without crews.
The collieries in this locality are all idle
owing to lack of transportation facilities.
The railroad strikers, however, declare
that the miners will go on strike as soon
AS requested to do so. Good order pre-.
walls among the strikers
READING, Dec. 2S.-Coal and freight
traffic by this morning was firmly re-cstab-
lished on the main line by the Reading
railroad. Up to noon to-day twenty-five
empty coal trains passed through Reading
from Port Richmond, and thirty loaded
trains from the coal regions.
The notice of Chairman Lee of the cx-
o%cutiye committee to the assemblies of
the knights of Labor, rcvoking the order
to go to work and once more calling out
the Philadelphia e. Reading men, has not
yet reached Reading. 1t will not generally
be needed by the employees who have al
ready refused to go out. BY their action
on Monday they broke the backbone of
IhS H'llhC duu IlGS arc all uJ WOTh To-
day. The call for a Reading railroad
employees convention to meet here to-
morrow for aggressive measures against
the company has not created much ex.
element, and the Indications arc that it
will be SHINY attended. The miners will
be the most largely represented. The
fact that about thirty members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
obtained engines held by the knights has
made the feeling between these parties
very bitter.
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 2S.-This alter
noon seven of the fourteen crews in charge
Of engines at Port Richmond ran them Oh
sidings end abandoned them. Superin-
tendent Klein at once went to the Wharf
and personally thanked the crews of the
seven engines for their loyalty and told
them hat if they thought it unsafe to re-
main on the engines for a time their
places would be held open for them.
keim also called in the aid of fifty Pink
crton detectives to protect the property
and men at work, and about 500 men are
guarding the company yards and wharves.
The loyal employees Of the company are to
be supplied with clubs for self defense.
